IMPROVED GARE-GUTTER.

To ALL WHOM 1T. MAY OONOERNQ- Be itknown that I, GEORGE O. SANDERSON, ofBoston, in the county of Suffolk', and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvementsiu Biscuit or .Cake-Cuttersund I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exactdescription thereof, reference being lhail t'o the accompanyingdrawings, and to the lettersofreference marked thereon. I

Tolenable Others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, IwillV proceed to describe its nature, construction, and use. i 4

"The nature Of my invention consists in combining-with abiscuit-cuttel3a spring-plunger and a dredging. device. Y i

i Drawings.

Figure 1 is'a perspective view of my invention.

' Figure 2 is a horizontal section. l

Figure 3 is a vertical section. l i p Arepresents a bscuit-cutter, whichmaybe made in 'any desired style, and providedwi'thi4 a handle, 1 5'.Within the cylindrical part, A, I placea'disk, B, figs. Zand 3,1saiddisk having a steadying-piri or stem, C, and

-is pressed upon by the spring D, so that, when the biscuit-cutter ispressed into `the soft dough, the disk D is pushed back toward the upperpart of the cutter, where it remains until the pressures removed fromthe cutter, then theaction of the spring will withdraw' the cutter fromthedough, leaving the biscuit on the cake-bo ard`. In case itis desiredto lift the biscuit from the cake-board, thedisk B maybe held up bythccrooked end C of the stem or steadyingfpin C, until thecutter andenclosed biscuit :1re in the desiredplace of deposit; then, by allowingthe spring to work, that is, by releasing the hold on C', the biscuitwill be forced out bythe disk B.

`E-is an opening, having Va tight-fitting cover, through which iiour maybe put intothe cylinder A, whcn'ce it may be shaken or dredged throughthe space between the loosely-fitting disk B, and the wallsofthecylinder1 A. Bly this means the cutter maybe keptl constantly dusted ordredged with flour, so that it'will not stick` to the dough. v

Having thus described my invention, I will now'proceed to set forth myclaim.

What I claim as my invention, anddesire to secureA bylLetteis Patent,is-- In a. biscuibcutterJ the combination and arrangement ofthe disk B,sp1-ing D, and stem C C', substantially as described and for thepurposeset'forth'. A
